New Year's resolutions are so last year, discover a fresh approach to setting goals and making them stick without the guilt or grind. Welcome back everyone. I'm Sofia Yvette, co-host, slash producer, back in the studio with Watsa Kutogolo. Watsa. Happy New Year. How's it going?

Speaker 3:

Hey Sophia, Happy New Year. I'm doing well. How are you?

Speaker 2:

I'm doing well. So, Watsa, what's the secret to ditching New Year's resolutions while achieving shocking results?

Speaker 3:

Hey Sophia, great question what is the secret of ditching those New Year's resolutions? Here's the secret. I will say it's about focusing on one why? Why you didn't meet that goal last year. You narrowed down to that one. Why and it's only one focus point for you to work on through the year of having multiple goals, trying to achieve those smart goals that is the secret. Your one, why?

Speaker 2:

what steps can people take to create those achievable and meaningful goals, instead of those resolutions?

Speaker 3:

great. Yeah, what are the steps to get to that? Why? Let me share my screen, sophia, and go through the steps of reaching those goals. We are here this is our blog, by the way, the Lenside Year blog about why, how you can find your why this year and focus on it, looking into the different steps we have here. So, first, what a better way to go by just having an example to walk through. So in this example, we are going to look into the goal that we didn't meet last year, and that is, we want to spend more time with our family.

Speaker 3:

So the question is why didn't I spend more time with my family last year? So you answer I was too busy. And then you keep going to dig deeper. So why were you too busy? Because I didn't prioritize my time. So why? Why you didn't prioritize your time Trying to do it all, and then you peel back more, more trying to understand one.

Speaker 3:

Why so peeling back more? Why did you feel the need to do it all? Because I'm not patient enough. I want instant results in everything. And then you get on to the root cause, which is impatience. I've been so impatient, trying to do it all and I didn't have time with my family. So my why here is to work on being more patient this year. That's the only thing I need. I just want to work on my why. And what happens with this method is it helps you narrow down to just the one cause of what you're having and work on just one thing, and this helps you not only achieve this goal, but you will see, by solving this problem, it will help you work on or even achieve greater goals than you ever thought. How cool is that?

Speaker 2:

These are the steps ever thought how cool is that? These are the steps. How can personalization like a vision board or a custom planner help people stay motivated throughout the year?

Speaker 3:

That's a great question how can Lensight give help? That will be the question how Lensight can help you achieve your goal this year. So we have great way of view and simple way. Actually, we have our desktop daily reminder and I want to share my screen again, sophia. So let me share this.

Speaker 3:

We talked about being able to work on your problem, which is patients that you need, and focusing on this. So, as you have this on your table or your desk or wherever you are, very often, this is a great reminder that every day, this is what I need, I need to remind myself. You can have accountability body that will remind you hey, have you worked on your patients? So this is a great way that we have. You can think about it. It's not just patient, right.

Speaker 3:

What else do we have? We have a way for you in the book here. We have a way for you to actually add your own custom test here If you think of something else. Hey, I need something else to ask a reminder. There you have it. You can put your own word on your desktop and you go for it and just to show our viewers. We do have multiple other way for you to remind yourself what to do through the year, and it's simple and easy and it's also on sale at lensa gift I want to switch back and share, just so they can have an idea how it looks.

Speaker 3:

I do have this here. They can see. It's simple, easy. You can remove it and put it in at your desk wow, that's super cute, thank you.

Speaker 2:

What role does mindset play in achieving success without traditional resolutions?

Speaker 3:

great question, sofia, what role mindset actually plays? It plays a lot. So this is about mindset. So this idea that I mentioned earlier about having the idea of narrowing down to your why, it starts with that mindset of knowing that, hey, I want to know my why. So, once you have that mindset that, hey, I only need one thing, then it helps your mind to focus on just one. Can you believe, sophia, having to do 100 things at once? Yeah, we are human beings. I know we think we can do more at once and you know you may do, but we find ourselves focusing on one versus the other at the end of the day, find ourselves focusing on one versus the other out at the end of the day. So having that mindset of just focusing on one item, it helps.

Speaker 3:

You just look at that. That again, that example of saying I want to be more patient this year. You just look at that patient and say, hey, today I was trying to do a lot. Oh, my gosh. By the end of the day, for example, I was trying to do a lot. Oh my gosh, by the end of the day, for example, I was trying to do a lot. Why? Oh, I have to remember again. Yeah, I just need that patience. I don't need to do everything. Tomorrow is another day. So that mindset helps you to go small steps and it just is all you need. One small step every day. It will help you achieve your goal by the end of the year, or whatever goal you set for yourself.

Speaker 2:

Love it, watsa. We'll catch you in the next episode. Have a fantastic rest of your day, thank you, sophia, bye.
